On Tuesday, October 27, our whole middle school went on a field trip to USC Galen Center for the Christian Service 4 Life event. There were about eight thousand students there and it was packed. There were so many buses when we got there. The Christian Service 4 Life event was about the life and works of Mother Teresa and her path to sainthood. When we first entered the Galen Center, all you could hear was music and Joe Melendrez talking on the microphone telling us to stand up and dance. I saw so many schools that I didn't even know. It took us like five minutes to find our seats, but we were finally settled in. Not only was Joe Melendrez there, but Brittney Sharaun , America's next top model was there too. Both of then got the crowd going and we started to squats for Jesus and jumping jacks and other things as well. Both of them stared calling up kids from other students to compete in a challenge. Even students from our school got chosen. After that, Bishop Brennan sings the National Anthem, which he did really well. I really liked it when we played the Game of Life: Saints Edition. One of my favorite parts was when they did the Shadow Dance based on Jesus' life in the perspective of Mother Mary. The second to last thing we did was the benediction of the Holy Eucharist. It felt wonderful to have a time a quiet with Jesus. At the end Bishop Barron talked to us and then we ended with a song. At 12:00 we ate lunch. After we ate lunch we got to go around and explore the booths that were there for volunteer opportunities. This field trip was really exciting and it helped us to deepen our faith.
